Project description

Research-based learning: from the practice problem to the research desgin to the advancement of knowledge

The Institute of Business Education and Management Training is developing and implementing a concept for the university teaching at the departement for Business Management at the Leipzig University. The project is financially supported by a fellowship of the Joachim Herz Stiftung.

In this project the students learn how to research and how they integrate research elements in their individual study processes. In a marketplace, in a workshop, in a  laboratory and a transfer studio the students

• define and edit research problems with different levels of difficulty and complexity together with experts out of Science and practice,
• with it link different disciplines (especially economics, technology and substainability) together,
• design the individual and collective  learning processes as a generative solved problem,
• reflect systematically the scientific method and the learning process (metacognition) and
• this is supported by elaborated feedback as well as an evaluation of the performance developement by mentors (teachers and specifically trained students)
